Description Review

For sale is a rare Oysterquartz Day-Date 36, featuring an exceptionally scarce black dial. Rolex produced Oysterquartz watches from 1977 to 2002 in very limited numbers—fewer than 25,000 pieces across all variants, including the steel and two-tone Datejust models. The Day-Date in particular was produced in far smaller quantities, and examples with a factory black dial are incredibly rare.

Rolex has long been celebrated for its mechanical mastery, but during the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s, even the most prestigious Swiss watchmakers faced pressure from the rise of more affordable and precise quartz technology. In response, Rolex developed the high-end quartz movement found in the Oysterquartz—built to the brand’s exacting standards.

Forget the new Rolex Land-Dweller with its insane premium—this iconic Oysterquartz Day-Date is an understated gem that holds a significant place in Rolex’s history. Interestingly, the newly unveiled Land-Dweller at Watches & Wonders 2025 draws clear aesthetic inspiration from the original Oysterquartz Day-Date. It marks Rolex’s notable return to the integrated bracelet design—a bold design choice not prominently revisited since the Oysterquartz era.

With its angular case, integrated bracelet, and sleek black dial, this piece not only captures the spirit of 1970s innovation but also feels remarkably modern. It’s a standout collector’s watch that bridges the past and present, offering timeless design, rarity, and historical weight in one refined package.
